Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I know just how you feel

I'm so sorry that you are going through this right now. I am a fellow insomnia sufferer and I hate being wide awake when every one else is asleep. My insomnia attacks usally like to hit around 2 or 3 in the morning. On a typicle night I'll go to sleep OK and wake up in the middle of the night (usually to use the bathroom) and then just not be able to go back to sleep for hours... when I do fall asleep I usually only have about an hour before it's time to get up again for the day. I AM ALWAYS TIRED.
(I have to say though that my insomnia attacks have been less frequent since I started Heather's diet.)
OK you're probably waiting for me to get to the point... I decided to take the advice of one of my college proffessors and not waste time trying to fall back asleep. I'll get up and go into the living room to read or work on a craft projects (the condition of my scrap books are in direct proportion to the frquency and length of my insomnia attacks). I drink a cup of hot chamomile and eventually ... very eventually ... I go back to sleep.
I hope you feel better soon. And if you're up late at night... Check the IBS board... I'll probably be the only other one on line. Hope you have a good night.
